Apparently was sitting in a parking lot in Puerto Rico in his car, when another car drove up and shot him in the jaw with a 45, which then went through his spine, his carotid, and out the other shoulder. Yes, the press in PR went into all this stuff in gory detail.

Not a huge boxing fan, but always a tragedy to see this happen to anybody.

I really don't care for it much when someone says "no problem"in response to my saying "thank you". I believe the correct responseis actually "You're Welcome". It actually makes a lot more sense given the situation than this modern alternative.

I prefer "you're welcome," but don't mind the other. It's a little analogous to "de nada" and similar phrases that somewhat function to (presumably graciously) minimize the magnitude of task/gesture that motivated the "thank you." A very thought provoking byway. Thanks for bringing it up.

I've been lurking for awhile. I always felt I really don't have a lot to contribute, because there are a lot of knowledgable people on the board...that said I always have an opinion

Everyone always says we should build a contender instead of a pretender.What if by some fluke, even with a horrible FO, we develop a really good core ofWall/Nene/Beal/2012 draftee

Every game the Wizards play hard and they are very close. What if we become the Bulls?For example, everyone says we are not good because our two best players are off the court.Nene has improved the team....Wall should make the team better. I think we are missing that elite scorer who is efficient and who is not scared.....

What if Wall is an elite PG?Is that elite scorer in the draft?If we got that person, and the team stays intact....what is our new ceiling?

You have to suck bad in the NBA to get lucky..is there someone who could do that for us?

excited to see Jacqui's first JV game tonight. From what she has toldme re practice and scrimmages, she might well expect to see the floora bit more than she did as a frosh (which was hardly at all). We'll see.

Oh man, South Lakes/Herndon. That brings back some memories. I went to SL for all four years Scottie Reynolds was at Herndon, saw him tear us up quite often. We had a guy year younger then me who would always sit by the Herndon bench and yell curse words at Scottie.

My Freshmen year was the best. That was the last year we played them twice(after that we left their district). They beat us in both regular season games, but we beat them for both the district and regional championship.
